Scratch

Never seen this suggestion b4, seems like a good idea. I go onto (and am even a mod on one) forums that have avatars under your name.

Check what's been resolved before suggesting it, please! It wastes people's time, and it gets tiring to see the same topics over and over.

Read: Suggestions that have been resolved already

Edit: It's section 8. At least glance at the titles of the other sections, please...
Thank you.

dunno

Do I have to quote section 8 for you to pay attention? (Otherwise, you wouldn't be bringing this up).

8. Avatars in the Forums

Ha, nobody suggested this! Unfortunately, coolstuff posted and gave me the idea... so I'm not so great after all.

So, back to digging around in the past threads. One of them started with five posts all agreeing and cheering it on, until the show ended:

Avatars on forums are not necessary and would clutter things up and slow the page up.

Quick, draw the curtains before the crowd purchases their eggs and tomatoes! Just joking.

There were several other threads, but they all came down to the same thing: It would be all cluttered, and the pages would load s-l-o-w-l-y.

However, SmartIrishKid mentioned how to post your avatar if you feel like it, or put it in your signature.

I think the Scratch Team has already said no to avatars, but I know how to automatically program an avatar into your signature.  Go to your My Stuff page and right-click on your avatar, then copy the link.

Code:

And then I saw you posted this:

Every single other forums has them, but us. That's stupid. We need to get into reality and up with the date. It's time to put in avatars on the forums.

And I responded:

The Scratch Team would have to upgrade their forums for that. And since it isn't neccessary, what's the point? These forums aren't for chatting or anything; they're for helping other Scratchers out (All About Scratch), suggesting things for Scratch (Suggestions), reporting bugs (Troubleshooting), and more. So what's the point in wasting money for avatars?

Please don't bump this again; it's been resolved.

joei, this has been resolved with a no! What's the point? If this keeps up for long enough, I will consider asking a forum moderator to close this. I do not want to, but I will if this goes on.


Stop the action; we have plenty enough.

i know how to put them in your sig.

it just go onto your 'my stuff' page, and right click on your avatar, properties, and copy the url given, go onto your profile page (The forums one.) then you put in this code:

[img]*put the avatars url code from earlier*[/img]

and click submit. you should have your avatar pic in your sig. like i do! and scratch is hosting it!

well not everyone does...

I know how. I just think avies are a good idea...

maybe you should ask to become a mod, your doing pretty well. at it already.

anyway, maybe he just forgot to use the edit button.

That was a bump, joei. And so was the post where you said "yea". Please stop. We have already discussed this! Would you like me to ask someone to close this topic?

What u talking about?

Clever, joei. You deleted the posts used to bump this topic up! That is seriously ridiculous.

I know that you were bumping it up because I checked the dates where you posted.

Joei! Please... it's not neccessary. The forums are for helping people (All About Scratch), suggesting things (Suggestions), and reporting bugs (Troubleshooting). What's the point?

The Scratch Team would have to upgrade their forums to include avatars. And what's the use? There's no point...

This has already been resolved! Section 8 in the sticky!

If you feel so strong about avatars, why don't you e-mail the Scratch Team? I'm sure they would prefer it to having a topic bumped up over and over... if you bump this one more time, I'm going to report the situation to Paddle2See. And I'll ask him to close this. If I were a forum moderator, I would have closed this a while ago...

Stop the action; we have had enough. One good reason for why I'm keeping my signature...

Just to make a point clear here:

I would like avatars, but they're not neccessary.

If signatures were'nt here and someone suggested them, I would say no. It's not neccessary, but I like the idea!
